Looking back, 2009 was a pretty big year for 311! I sat down and tried to think of some of the major things that happened in 311 world over the past year, and here’s what I came up with:
- Nick announced he got married!
- Tim & P-Nut appeared at the NAMM convention
- Full spring tour [...]

Since Uplifter was released, I’ve always wondered who wrote which songs…I just find it really interesting. As we all know, for the first time, writing credits were not included in the CD booklet, which I found kind of strange. After looking at that BMI site, I was able to put together this list of writing [...]

“I Miss You”
“Let’s Party”
“Little Play”
“Live In It”
“No Hurry”
“Raga Drop”
“Repeat Defender”
“Sail On”
“Save Me”
“Simplify”
“Stay On”
“THAW”
“Take Away”
“Way Up”
“Week of Saturdays”
They have “Long for the Flowers” listed as “Looking [...]

“Why Should I Get Out of Bed?” is a [...]

YESS!! So the other day when I mentioned in the “INDIA INK Remix!!” post that Chad was mixing a live version of the song at the Hive, it turns out this was for a live recording of the song from the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show – and it is now available on iTunes!
